World Cup Match

Elijah Just brace earns All Whites stunning draw against Iran

New Zealand produced a hugely impressive display to draw 2-2 with Iran in their Group G opener in Los Angeles. Elijah Just opened the scoring after seven minutes and added a second just after half-time — both goals assisted by Chris Wood — either side of Iran equalisers from Ramin Rezaeian and Mohammad Mohebi. The point leaves all four Group G teams level, and marks one of New Zealand's finest World Cup results.
